My woodpiles have a ridiculously large mice infestation. I'm finding droppings on almost every piece of wood I pull. I have put poison back there, and used mothballs, but I can't get rid of them. Anyway, this spring, I plan to make a vegetable garden. Of course, my wood is stacked in the sun, and that's exactly where the garden needs to be too. It will be only about 10 feet from the infested wood. I plan on growing some herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers, beans...
My question is, will the mice get into the garden? I'm a bit grossed out thinking of them nibbling on my food, leaving droppings etc. I know mice are a common problem in woodpiles, and know many of you have veggie gardens, so I figured some people here might have some first hand experience with this.
